We had a great day of inshore fishing with anglers of all experience levels. Everyone caught fish, thanks to Captain Heath’s knowledge of the area and where the fish were holding. We’d definitely recommend him to others—and we’ll be back with more friends and family!

Captain Heath is incredibly supportive and helpful, especially if you're new to finding and gathering bay scallops. Once you've collected your catch, he walks you through how to clean them properly. He even provides baggies and ice so you can take them home fresh and ready to cook. This was our second trip with Captain Heath, and we’re already planning the next one!

My husband and I had a fantastic trip fishing with Capt. Heath! He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and the local fishery. He worked hard for us all day trying to keep us in the fish. I would highly recommend a trip with Capt. Heath to anyone looking to fish the Homosassa, Ozello, and Crystal River area!

Capt Dave took me out for a full day on the water and didn’t disappoint. Within no time we were on reds and snook. He was great at avoiding the nearby storms and then we hit some trout and a few misc species we weren’t targeting, but still a thrill. Fun day!

What an experience. Despite a slow start Captain Dave made the most of it. Left with only a handful of fish, but a lifetime of memories. Highly recommend it. Will go back soon. If you’re in the area , GO. You won’t be disappointed.
